Sex After Menopause

Menopause does not signal the end of female sexuality. In fact, many women find that intimacy is enhanced in midlife.

Several years ago Judy Grant, a 52-year-old lawyer, realized she was no longer getting her period, her vagina was drier than usual, and sexual arousal was taking longer. She began to worry that her sex life would soon disappear.

She had heard that at menopause, women lose their interest in and ability to have sex. But since she started using a little artificial lubricant and adjusted her expectations, she's found she enjoys sex more than ever. She especially likes the extra time she and her husband spend stroking and cuddling before they try to reach orgasm.

Like Judy, many women fear that menopause signals the end of their sexual desirability and pleasure. This fear comes from stereotypes of the midlife and older woman as unattractive and asexual. In addition, loss of the ability to bear children may become confused with loss of sexual desirability.
